Happy May...and some reviews!


Happy May...and happy national scrapbook day!!! Have you scrapped today??? After this, I plan to go scrap some. I ordered some baby girl papers and stuff last week, so hopefully it comes soon! I'll post my baby girl pages!




Speaking of my baby girl, she's great! Honestly, she is a bit of a fussy baby...she has tummy issues...poor thing. I've sworn off dairy, but it's not helping that much yet. She is happiest if I am holding her. I've started wearing her in the peanut shell sling around the house. She adores that sling! She goes right to sleep in it. I cooked dinner wearing her last night! We went to Costco last week and I wore her. So many people came up to me and asked what was in my sling. The baby can be pretty hidden in there! It's my best purchase for Kendall, I really think!








Today is Maddie's birthday...HAPPY 12th BIRTHDAY Maddie!!!!! We went out for dinner to celebrate! Can't believe my Maddie is 12! I was there at the hospital when she was born! I was dating Joe. She was born in the evening, and I had the MSAT the next morning in Fresno, early! (Teacher credentialing test!). But I had to be there! I remember her Daddy holding her up in the nursery, a huge grin on his face! Now 12 years later...my boys adore her...she is a great help! So smart, reads everything!!! Growing into a lovely young woman....








I wanted to do some reviews on here...it's been a while...but here are some...




Maybelline's Mineral Powder




...I love the Bare Minerals face powder, but I'm out of it and it's pricey, so I tried the Maybelline version, under $10! I really like it...good coverage, but looks natural. Definitely a good option, and much cheaper than Bare Minerals.








BellyBars


...yummy "candy bars" for mamas...to-be, pregnant, or nursing. I am not a big fan of those nature bars you can buy..luna bars, etc, but I really liked these, especially the chocolate ones. I got to try the bars, the shake, and citrus chews for another website and really enjoyed them.



Scrubbing Bubbles Automatic Shower Cleaner...

tried this for another company I test products for....not a huge fan! Granted, I didn't start with a super clean shower...hey, I was 9 months pregnant! But it didn't seem to get my shower any cleaner, like it promised it would! In fact, I have another bottle left to put in the sprayer, but I haven't gotten around to it, Maybe I'll start with a spotless shower first and see what happens! But I wouldn't go out and buy this again...


OK, better go...baby is fussing and I do want to do some scrapping tonight! Good night!

Yay! Reviews! I haven't tried the Maybelline, but I found another good BE alternative--Everyday Minerals. I get a better color match from them, and you can order samples! Also, I'm not a huge fan of the shower cleaner either. Can't someone else just clean my shower?!? I love all of the pictures. What cuties.
